2. Vegetable Upma - South Indian Classic.

Upma is a light yet refreshing south Indian breakfast, which is very much healthy. It is prepared of semolina (sooji/ rava ) and full of vegetables.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup semolina (sooji/rava)
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 green chili, chopped
• 1/2 cup mixed vegetables
• 1 tsp oil
• 1/2 tsp mustard seeds, preferred amount of salt.

Method:

1. Roue dry, using a pan, cool and in couple of minutes carmelise the semolina just a shade golden. Keep aside.

2. In another pan heat the oil, mustard seeds, onions and green chili. Sauté till fragrant.

3. Add 1 cup of water and your vegetables to the pot, then bring it all to a boil

4. Slowly sprinkle the roasted semolina into the pot while stirring continuously. This will help prevent lumps from forming and keep the mixture smooth

5. Cook and then cover with a lid 3-4 minutes and allow it to rest 2 minutes. Serve hot.

Personal comment: I like to sprinkle it with a few cashews - it is a good crunch!

3. Poha – Light Yet Energising

Flattened rice (Poha) is also an Indian breakfast favourite. It is also light, easy to digest, and it does not require more than 15 minutes of making it.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup poha (flattened rice)
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 green chili, chopped
• 1/4 tsp turmeric
• Salt and lemon juice to taste
• A handful of peanuts
• 1 tsp oil

1. Rinse poha in water and drain. Keep aside.

2. Heat up oil in a pan, peanuts fried until golden and onions and chili sauted.

3. Add poha, which has been soaked in water, salt and turmeric. Mix gently.

4. Bake 2-3 minutes and cake the lemon juice and coriander squeezer.

GET tip: Grated carrot or peas also can be added to make it even healthier.

 4. Moong Dal Chilla  - Protein Dense Pancakes.

Let it be a protein-fortified breakfast and moong dal chilla is just the solution. They are yellow lentil pancakes soaked which are extremely filling.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup yellow moong dal (then soaked 2-3 hrs.)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 green chili, chopped
• Salt and spices to taste

Method:

1. Blend the whitening moong dal into a creamy batter. Add salt, chili, and onion.

2. Heat a non-sticking pan and tip a ladle of batter into it and spread it like a pancake.

3. Brown in medium heat, turn over and continue to cook the other side.

4. Accompany with green chutney or with yogurt.

Personal Story: On those days where I eat no breakfast, drinking 2-3 moong dal chillas keeps me satisfied until lunch without any feeling of transporter fatigue.

5. Smoothie Bowl – Quick, Fresh, and Colourful

You can make a smoothie bowl to have when you are rushing but wish to eat something healthy in those morning occasions. It is healthy, refreshing, and could be modified to your favourite fruits.

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• 1/2 cup berries (strawberries, blueberries or any fruit of the season)

1. Mix yogurt/milk , berries and banana  thoroughly.

2. Fill into a bowl and sprinkle granola, seeds and cut up fruits.

3. Enjoy immediately!

Pro tip: When it comes to having a busy morning, I tend to make this the night before. You can just keep in the refrigerator and add on crunchy granola and then have it.
